just stay connected to call. call her and visit often. make her a part of your new world. eventually, she will recreate herself.
btw, you are very sweet to be concerned about your mom
good luck!
I am not a single mother, but I’m very attached to my children. I have two. The older one is in college. She calls me a lot. I never told her to, but she does. When she is with her friends, she doesn’t, but when she’s walking to class, if she’s by herself, she calls me and says, "Walk me to class" and she walks and we talk. It’s very nice. Maybe that would make your mother feel better.
Don’t worry about her. She’ll be fine. You do what you have to do, and she’ll adjust. She wants the best for you. Just keep in touch.
Maybe your mother is waiting for you to move out so she can get on with her own life.
have fun at clollege and dont worry too much about your mum she is over 21!
Call her every other day at first. Hearing your voice will put her a ease. Don’t be so sure of yourself…you may be calling every day because you miss home!
